About Our Doctors

Our Practice Philosophy

Chronic pain can be frustrating and debilitating. At AZ Pain Doctors, we understand the significant impact that pain can have on your quality of life. Oftentimes, patients are given powerful narcotic medications without a thorough diagnostic evaluation, or any other evidence-based treatments. Our practice philosophy is to first determine a diagnosis for your pain. It is very difficult to effectively treat pain without knowing the actual pain generator.

After the providers at AZ Pain Doctors have determined an appropriate diagnosis, we will then formulate a treatment plan based on our philosophy which prioritizes treatments best supported by evidence in medical literature and best practices.

Currently, medical studies favor a multidisciplinary approach for treating patients suffering from pain. A multidisciplinary approach involves using a combination of modalities such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications, and interventional pain management procedures. By using a team approach to your care, we here at AZ Pain Doctors are optimizing the likelihood of successful pain reduction in our patients lives.
